It's interesting that I became so interested in programming when there wasn't anyone I knew or in my family that was into that area. My parent's still wouldn't have the slightest clue about programming and the only reason we really got computers and upgraded them early is because my grandpa was into them early (the usage side of things, not programming). I guess what really sparked my interest was being able to make games, the programs like rpg maker that come with point and click programming languages, all come from that. So I think rather than focusing on the programming language side of it I would focus on the results with kids, if they can script a NPC walking around the map or script interactions/ map changes and stuff, even though it's only a few lines of quasi programming I think that inspires more than simple text based program learning with a text file that can feel daunting, to may possibilities, not enough hand holding.
